SME’s Training and Hands-on Practice in Optical Design and Simulation

The mission of SMETHODS project is to strengthen Europe's optics and photonics industry by providing trainings and hands-on practice in optical design and simulation.

The mission of SMETHODS project is to strengthen Europe's optics and photonics industry by providing trainings and hands-on practice in optical design and simulation. SMETHODS courses are organized in 4 different domains, each one hold in a different University and each one having one week length:

  • Domain 1: imaging optics. At Delft University of Technology. May 2012.
  • Domain 2: non-imaging optics. At Technical University of Madrid, organized by CeDInt-UPM. July 2012.
  • Domain 3: wave optics. At Vrije Universiteit Brussel. June 2012.
  • Domain 4: diffractive optics. At Technische Universität Darmstadt. July 2012.

CeDInt-UPM organized during one week (18th-22nd June) the courses on non-imaging optics. During five days, 25 people coming from 10 different countries attended a practical and hands-on training course focused on real world problem designs, which enriched their knowledge and allowed an extense networking between the participants.
